Truce (Game Of Hearts #1)

Rylee Kent didn’t plan on starting over on a tiny island, but life left her no choice.
What she needs is space. Quiet. A place where she can finally breathe again.

What she doesn’t need?
A charming neighbor who can match her sharp humor beat for beat and enjoys doing it far too much.

She isn’t looking for friendship.

She definitely isn’t looking for connection.

And she absolutely isn’t looking for it right next door.

Elliott Sawyer is steady, easygoing, and the kind of man who turns strangers into friends without trying.
His life hums along in familiar rhythms until the feisty, guarded woman next door crashes straight into it.

Falling for Rylee wasn’t part of the plan.
Neither was the way she challenges him, surprises him, or makes him want more than the life he’s always accepted.

But maybe that’s the magic of the unexpected. It shows up quietly, exactly when you need it most and changes everything you thought you wanted.

Truce is a slow-burn, spicy small-town romance featuring friends to lovers, close proximity, a sunshine blue-collar hero, a guarded millionaire heroine, opposites who ignite, he falls first, but she falls harder. No third-act breakup.
